How can I run it in batch mode?

[ufsaa2022]

Hi all,

In the example below, I want to run Workbench and Mechanical in batch mode.
Workbench can be done with "launch_workbench(show_gui=False)", but how can I do it with mechanical?
"batch=True" doesn't work.
Is there a way?

Thanks !

Before 2025R1, it was the behavior as you have observed. The Mechanical used to start in UI mode , no matter how you run the workbench. Starting from 2025R1 onwards, this behavior has been corrected. Mechanical will run in the same mode as workbench.

Thank you for your reply.
I was trying to proceed with the script below.

workdir = Path(r"E:\my_batch_project").absolute()
wb = launch_workbench(client_workdir=str(workdir), version="251", show_gui=False)
wb.run_script_string('template2 = GetTemplate(TemplateName="Static Structural", Solver="ANSYS")')
wb.run_script_string('system2 = CreateSystemFromTemplate(Template=template2, Name="Static Structural (ANSYS)")')
pymech_port = wb.start_mechanical_server(system_name="Static Structural (ANSYS)")
mechanical = launch_mechanical(start_instance=False, ip='localhost', port=pymech_port)

However, when I run pymech_port = wb.start_mechanical_server(system_name="Static Structural (ANSYS)"), I get a dump error.

So I can't proceed any further.
If 'show_gui=True', it runs without any problems.
Is there another way?

Thanks !
